I think the fact people need to go through HR to give Feedback means the speech isn't going to /dev/null. People seem to take her speech very seriously and don't want to feel her wrath.
In fact, Google even appeared to take her concerns onboard after she got a lawyer and only threatened to sue. She just seems to expect more which is the entitlement I was talking about.

(My intention above was to say that Timnit Gebru does have that privilege, and is using it to speak for other people who don't have that privilege)
Her e-mail identifies that you can speak on racism and sexism as much as you want, but all of your speech will be routed to /dev/null.
